I haven't listened to Catharsis much because it didn't grab me from the first songs. In general, comparing Catharsis to Aria seems a bit absurd to me because I've been listening to Aria for several years and haven't gotten tired of it, while I quickly stopped listening to Catharsis. Of course, this is just my opinion. Next. What about Thomas from Knights? What are you talking about? Please explain. And what about the children of Bodun... The keyboardist contributes much more than 30%. Much more. He plays solos just as well as Alexi Laiho himself.
Regarding Aria, you're probably right. Although I still think that "Generator" came out before "Chimera."
As for the idea that it will never die... Never for those of us who are like us. You're right. But what about the next generation? R&B? Drum and bass? Trance? Something like that will emerge. Metal is needed by almost no one. To my great regret. Almost none of those who listen to the music I just mentioned respect other genres. Why bother with anything else? I really hope I'm wrong.
I haven't listened to Epitafiya or Shmeli.
So you fall at his feet hes the one who betrays you
Its the servants devotion for the decay
Stand up
There are no flowers on your grave
There are no chains
There I keep chanting for the forgotten name © Amorphis
